An isosceles triangle has been constructed so that its height is half its base. Find the dimensions of the
triangle if the area is 64 m².

Respuesta :

Answer: 4 8×8= 64 half the base which is 8 =4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

height = 8 m

base = 16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base = 2x m

So, height = half its base = [tex]\frac{2x}{2} = x \ m[/tex]

Area = 64 m²

[tex]\frac{1}{2}* \ base* \ height = 64\\\\\\\frac{1}{2}* 2x * x = 64[/tex]

 x * x = 64

x * x = 8 * 8

x = 8 m

Base = 2x = 2*8 = 16 m
